Magnesium is a nutritional element, essential in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, as it contributes to the conversion of carbohydrates and protein into ATP.
Magnesium is found inside the energy factories of each cell (mitochondria), while the energy production of our cells largely depends on it. Although magnesium is not an element of the basic structure of bone crystal, it seems to be associated superficially.
Magnesium deficiency is a particularly common condition and can cause symptoms that the general practitioner does not consider significant. Patients who most often experience magnesium deficiency usually suffer from cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension.
60% of magnesium is found in bones and plays an important role in the absorption of calcium.
In parallel, magnesium maintains electrolyte levels in balance, promotes healthy neuromuscular function, and contributes to improving sleep quality, as recent research has shown that groups of patients suffering from severe insomnia had significantly reduced magnesium levels. Magnesium is particularly useful in the elderly and in people who have low stomach acidity.
